In Light and Shadows ( please see large)

I'm delighted to see such a elegant photo as this. Every aspect spot on. Being me I'd like to mention that fascinating shadow line along her arm up to her head (light from both sides), the rest being quality wise obvious. Bravo!

Beautiful!! Pnina.

As you correctly guessed in what you wrote on my seascape shot, I've been scarce here and far too present at the office! But, at last, here I am to join everyone in enjoying your artistry. I love this whole series, and have spent some time with each of the images. Next to this one, I like "The Misty Zone" next because the dancers look to me like blooming flowers just awakening.

 

Most anything I could say has been said, but I can certainly agree about how wonderfully this is captured. I can't imagine the light being any better, and I must thank Markku for pointing out the shadow line on her left arm. I'm also very fond of the diagonal shadow from her left shoulder down to her right arm, making a nice triangle of it's own, while completing one with her right clavicle that's just lovely. I must also agree with you about the anatomical correctness of her nipple, and I'll add that for me, it completes the image in a way that gives it much greater reality and depth.

Beautifully photographed with expertise on lighting! Well done! Regards, Doug

Painting with light. Outstanding as usual.

It was very good and now has now become better after cropping.

Such drama from so few elements. The light seems to be draping around her, delicately. A lovely dream of a picture.

Splendid shot, Pnina. Very beautiful light!

Spencer, glad you are well, Shalom.

 

Markku, thanks for your detialed evaluation of the light, that really illuminate her especially nice .

 

Alberto, Doug, Armindo, thanks all of you for the feedback.

 

David, thanks for your detailed evaluation and finding the time in your busy timetable. I'm glad you liked, and looked more into the series, as it has some sort of connection to your profession...

 

Jeff, I think that the light is really what makes the drama of her single presence on the stage.

 

Adolfo, thanks as well !

 

Excellent moment. Perfectly lit moment with a very nice expression. Warm regards - Hasan

The lighting is so gentle and intimate, this is a beautiful portrait......

Oh, this is...SUPER!!!...Ciaomauihopenewyourfriend!

Hasan, Tim and Maury, Nice feedback ! thanks all of you.

... negative space heightens the anticipation, adds a dimension of time to the static pose that I find is quite interesting, and actually quite surprising. Well done.

without doubt a great image form the lighting as a whole down to the reflection. I do however agree with Catherine about that somewhat distracting nipple. It may indeed be part of womanhood as you've put it but the question is does it add something to the image?

Beautiful light and shadows Pnina. Such a soft elegance to it.. Lovely!!

Dennis, glad to see you here. The light on stage and the fast changes is the hardest to deal with. it was a fraction of a second that her seating and light were to my favore .

 

Ton, thanks as well, It is impossible to please everybody ...;-)) As I wrote before I have no problem with that.

 

Andrea,thanks as well, for your nice feedback.

A masterful use of light capturing a lovely subject. Her simplicity and expression are captivating.

Hi Pnina,

 

It's me, the nipple girl ...

 

Am I to understand that this wasn't a studio shoot? Because if it wasn't this image is even more amazing. I guess you can't ask the dancers to wear pasties ;)

 

Cheers,

Catherine

Adan, thanks for all your feedback, really appreciated!

 

Catherine, it was photographed while on stage in a show. I'm positioned at the end of the hall in the dance center, I can master better the lights and composition from that spot...( 70-200 mm lens)

Simple and beautiful.
